A weekly visit for Hellen, 93, who lives alone in Kikuyu
Hellen lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇰🇪 Kikuyu, Kiambu, Kenya441 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Hellen, who's 93. Hellen lives alone in Kikuyu, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Hellen loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Ottawa but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Kikuyu.
